Fluency appears secure, but comprehension does not follow.

You already know that speed and accuracy are not the whole story. This Fluency Tracker is designed for teachers who want a sharper lens as a way to distinguish between:

  • decoding that is performative,

  • effortful decoding,

  • and genuine coherent fluency.

In just 5 minutes per pupil, this Fluency Tracker helps teachers identify 7 signs of coherence as they begin to emerge in reading:

  • intonation and prosody

  • flow and phrasing

  • real-time understanding

  • attention stability

  • expression and enjoyment

  • articulation clarity

  • response to unfamiliar words

This is not an assessment of speed. It's a structured way to see whether decoding and comprehension are synchronising in real-time.

Included: a short 30 minute professional training, explaining how to interpret the patterns you see and use them to inform targeted intervention.

If you lead reading in your school, or support pupils whose fluency feels fragile, despite good phonics, this was built for you.
